Seattle outdoor movies, Aug. 15-Sept. 8

Here they are: your last chances to see an outdoor movie in or near Seattle.

This summer has has a record number of them – more than 120 from Everett to Gig Harbor. We’ve found 41 between Wednesday, Aug. 15 and the last screening Sept. 8. (If we missed one, please send an e-mail so we can update the list.)

Another way to say that: there is an outdoor movie showing somewhere in or around Seattle every night for the rest of the month, excluding Mondays.

There are classics like “Top Gun,” “Caddyshack,” the original “Footloose,” and “The Princess Bride.” You can see parts of Seattle at the MOHAI screenings of “Sleepless in Seattle” and Elvis Presley’s “It Happened at the World’s Fair.”

Common questions about outdoor movies

Can I bring a beer? Probably not legally. Almost all the venues have some kinds of snacks and sodas, and many have beer either in a beer garden or at nearby restaurants. To drink in a Seattle public park, you technically need to have a permit. And police say using a paper bag to cover a beer bottle doesn’t save you from violating the open-container law. But if you risk it, the fine for being caught is $27 — half the price of the fine for letting your dog poop in public. However, that citation does show up in public court documents.

What about food? Most places have concessions or, at least, nearby restaurants. Some venues have tasty food trucks lined up. Check the captions in the gallery above for more info.

When do the movies start? Dusk. But show up early because seats go quickly. Some places sell pre-film seating.

Can I bring my dog? Do you really want to watch a movie outdoors with another person’s dog bothering you? Probably not, so keep yours at home, too. If your dog — or you — have attachment issues, call the organizers to figure out if Fido can come. He probably can’t.

What happens if it rains? Some venues like Magnuson Park in Seattle and Marymoor Park in Redmond go on rain or shine. Others will cancel the movie. Call the venue ahead of time if the weather is rough.

What are the ratings? You’ve got Google, right? If you can’t find a rating, don’t worry; the majority of the films are family friendly.

Can I bring a chair? You can, but stick to the low-back chairs. Blankets are even better. People with regular folding chairs either will be asked to stay in the back or told they can’t use them in most cases.
